Master of Arts (Art in Public Space)

This program will provide you with 24-hour access dedicated studio space to undertake your art practice.

You will have lecturers who are practicing artists and creative practice researchers with extensive experience in their field, as well as access to expertise of a technician as well as access to the PS50 public exhibition program and other on site projects that are developed with non-government organisations, government, community and cultural organisations, cultural institutions and industry partners.

Early in the program, the focus is on collaborative projects that expose you to new ideas and methods of working. Throughout the program you'll develop projects that reflect your specific interests and will culminate in a major project that is assessed through documentation in a Research Catalogue and public presentation at a Postgraduate Conference.

This program nurtures a cohesive learning environment by combining small group and individual practices and encouraging collaborative projects and peer to peer discussions.

All programs are delivered in English.
